Yeah, not my brand of meditation. It's organic, gluten-free, and non-GMO. We've got endorsements from Gwyneth Paltrow and Deepak Chopra, and we're FCC certified and UL approved. Come on baby light my fire!

Well OK that was a joke, but then so is this article. People have been meditating for literally thousands of years (well sometimes they take a break), and finally, finally, the truth can be told, based on modern medical science? Give me a break

I don't feel like you are responding to the points made in the article. Which parts of the article and the quoted research do you find are"a joke" ? What do you base your refutation on? Links appreciated!

It is my personal experience that mindfulness and meditation causes anxiety and panic attacks. People have been meditating foe thousands of years - yes. But it is not for anyone.
